Regular lawn mowing for acreage, large rural properties and home lawns across southern Wisconsin, on a schedule that fits your property.
Tell us about your lawn mowing project — we’ll get right back to you.
Lawn mowing keeps the grass on your property cut, even and under control through the growing season. We mow around Whitewater, Lake Geneva and Elkhorn, and across southern Wisconsin. Large properties come first. That means acreage, rural home sites, the open ground around farm buildings, and commercial grounds with a lot of turf. Those are the jobs our equipment is built for. Smaller home lawns are welcome too. If you would rather have the grass handled by the same company that clears land, we will put you on the schedule. Mowing joins the land work we already do, so a lot we clear can stay cut afterward. You tell us how often you want it mowed. We show up and mow it.
We match the mower to the ground. Wide open acreage gets a machine that covers a lot of grass in one pass. A home lawn with trees, beds and a fence line gets a smaller mower that can work around them. Most properties go on a set schedule through the season, so the grass never gets ahead of you. A one-time cut is fine too, for a vacant lot or a lawn that got away from you. Grass that is taller than a lawn mower should handle gets the rotary cutter instead. We bush hog it down first, and after that it can go onto a regular mowing schedule. Either way, you get an even cut and a property that looks cared for.
Grass here follows the Wisconsin seasons. UW Extension notes that cool-season lawn grasses slow down in warm, dry summer weather and grow actively again in the fall. A lawn may need mowing twice a week in spring and only every two weeks in a hot, dry summer. We set the schedule to the growth and keep mowing in the fall until the grass goes dormant. In the City of Whitewater, grass may not exceed 7 inches in height under section 7.22 of the city code. A vacant lot or a second home can pass that line fast when nobody is mowing it. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate. We look at the property with you, agree on the areas and the schedule, and give you a firm, price-matched number.
A company mowing acreage should run a machine that covers ground, and still have a smaller mower for the tight spots around a house. Ask what they will bring to your property and why.
Grass that has gone a season without a cut can be past a mower. Look for a company that can bush hog it down first and then keep it mowed, so you are not hiring twice.
The grass should be cut at one height across the whole property, with the edges along fences, drives and tree lines cut as cleanly as the open ground in the middle.
Regular mowing only works if the mower shows up. Ask how the company sets the schedule, what happens in a wet week, and how you reach them when a date needs to move.
You should have a firm price before the first cut, given on site after someone has seen the property. Our estimates are free, and our price-match guarantee stands behind the number we give you.
Country properties with more grass than a push mower or a residential rider can keep up with through the season.
Smaller lawns in town and in the subdivisions, mowed on a regular schedule or as a one-time catch-up cut.
Properties around the lakes that sit empty for weeks at a time and still need the grass kept down.
Business grounds, storage yards and vacant lots that need to stay cut to code without someone on site to do it.
